Washington Nationals outfielder Ryan Raburn (side) was scratched from the spring lineup for the second straight day Saturday with "left side tightness." Raburn said he hurt himself swinging in batting practice a few days ago, but he's not worried that it's a long-term injury. Raburn hit .261 with two home runs and six RBI in... Read More

Welcome to the 2017 edition of the Recently Promoted Prospects! Here I discuss some recently promoted prospects and what to make of their production for fantasy owners. This has been a busy week for prospect promotions, especially for hitters. Though only one pitcher of note was promoted, all five hitters discussed today are considered at... Read More

With Washington Nationals left fielder Jayson Werth (foot) placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday, the Nationals will turn to the recently called up infielder/outfielder Ryan Raburn to fill the void. Raburn is a crafty veteran who offers some pop with his bat. Raburn has hit .274 with four home runs thus far in Triple-A.... Read More

The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent outfielder Ryan Raburn to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training Friday, according to a source. The 35-year-old journeyman outfielder hit a disappointing .220 with nine home runs and 30 RBI in 113 games with the Rockies last year. He's a notable lefty killer, though, with a... Read More

Yoan Moncada was the big prospect promotion since we last met. Raimel Tapia is up at Coors Field too. These big name guys have undoubtedly been owned in your dynasty league for years. But September gives us other opportunities including looks at lesser known talents. Let's stick to Coors Field for the first one... Editor's... Read More

What an unbelievable week for prospect promotions. Alex Bregman, Lucas Giolito, Joey Gallo, David Dahl, Tyler Glasnow! The real question is really, who wasn’t promoted this week? And the crazy thing is that next week could have even more top prospects reach the majors, as big league rosters continue to be shaken up as a result of... Read More

We've got an 11 game schedule on the books today, with two matinee games and nine in the main slate. I'll focus my picks on the main slate and sprinkle a few day game suggestions in there, too. There are a handful of games today with high run total projections via Vegas, starting with Phillies... Read More

We're nearing the MLB All Star weekend, which is right around halfway through the season. Are there any surprises in terms of standings halfway through the season? The Rangers are the biggest surprise team this season in my opinion. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks... Read More

Welcome to another busy Saturday in daily fantasy baseball. The early slate gives us nine games leaving us with a small six game evening slate. There are some elite pitching options in Max Scherzer, Zack Greinke, Jon Lester, and some excellent second tier and value options as well giving us a ton of ways to... Read More

After suffering an ankle injury after a collision with shortstop Trevor Story, Gerrardo Parra will take today’s game off to heal up. It is unsure how much time he will miss, but it looks like Parra avoided a serious injury after being carted off the field due to the collision. Ryan Raburn filled in yesterday... Read More

With the Rockies playing an early game at Coors Field against the Pirates today, they’ve opted to rest slugger Carlos Gonzalez. CarGo smashed three home runs this past week, recording eight RBI but hitting .185. Through 57 games this year, he’s hitting .296 with 13 home runs and 30 RBI. With Gonzalez absent from today’s... Read More

Since Returning from the DL earlier this season, Blackmon has been great for the Rockies. He hit .316 in May and has kept it rolling in June hitting .300 in this month so far. Tonight in Los Angeles he will take a seat and let Ryan Raburn man the outfield and hit second in the... Read More

Welcome to the beginning of another fun month of baseball. There's a full slate with games starting at 1:10 ET, which means there is Early Only, All Day, and Main Slate contests for your choosing. Plenty of aces on tap (Felix Hernandez, Max Scherzer, Jon Lester, Jacob deGrom) so value bats will be key. As... Read More

Welcome to the weekend, RotoBallers. While I enjoy celebrating my fifth anniversary with my lovely wife today, you all will be enjoying a full slate of Saturday baseball. You will also be raking in the dough on DFS, assuming you read this article of course. Since I want everyone to celebrate with me on this... Read More

Colorado Rockies Team Breakdown: April Edition Welcome to the Colorado Rockies team report for April. As the RotoBaller writer responsible for the daily coverage of the Rockies, who better than me to break them down for you as we enter May? First, let’s get you the numbers. Here you’ll find team stats, and then those... Read More

You don't need an expert to tell you to play Andrew McCutchen tonight against a weak left-handed pitcher at Coors. It is much more difficult, however, to sift through the cheap DFS options for the right value plays that can help you fit in the studs you want and put your lineup over the top. That is the purpose... Read More

I realize this defeats the purpose of rolling out my picks one by one, but I suspect there will be a bajillion runs scored in Colorado on Monday night. Soft tossing lefty Jeff Locke (7.24 ERA) will face right-hander Chad Bettis (84.6% medium-to-hard contact rate) in a game that, as of this writing, Vegas hasn’t... Read More

Welcome to Week 4 of the baseball year. Sunday was an exciting cap to end the week, with two games going 13+ innings! Should be another fun-filled slate again this week as the Rockies remain at home. Today we have a few aces taking the mound (Madison Bumgarner, Noah Syndergaard, Zack Greinke) along with enticing... Read More

Every team is in action this Sunday, meaning that the lineup combinations on DraftKings are virtually endless. Days like this are great because you get to choose if you want to just participate in games taking place early, games taking place later, or a combination of both. This weekend brings some interleague play, presenting some matchups that are... Read More

Ryan Raburn got the start today against left-hander Scott Kazmir and went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer off of the southpaw. Rockies manager Walt Weiss really enjoys having Raburn to deploy against lefties, especially with Charlie Blackmon hurting (though Blackmon had started to sit occasionally against lefties even before being hurt). Raburn now has three... Read More

It is always great when the Colorado Rockies come back to Coors Field! The Dodgers and Rockies are both fantastic options tonight. Attack that game as much as possible. In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy baseball MLB lineup picks for FanDuel on 4/22/16. The DFS lineup picks will... Read More

The first week hype is over and fantasy managers have finally had a chance to evaluate their talent over a small sample size. Single leagues create the unique challenge of limiting waiver options available throughout the season. That's why if you don't pick up every single one of these players right now, they will be gone before... Read More

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend! We're back to a full slate of games tonight, with first pitch scheduled at 7:05 EDT. Now, let's get to the good stuff. Editor’s Note: We have some awesome rest of season MLB DFS Services Premium Lineup Picks deals, that include all of our Premium DFS lineup... Read More

This week we will be in part discussing the sleeper side of the David Price deal, why the Phillies are now a hot high-upside team, and why Joe Maddon gets a sick kick out of tossing around save opportunities. Buckle up. For other waiver wire options, check out RotoBaller’s fantasy baseball waiver wire pickups list.... Read More

Today is an 11 game day with some potentially high scoring affairs across the board. The only match ups I am confident will be controlled by pitchers are both Los Angeles teams with Zack Greinke and Garrett Richards. Without further adieu, here are my MLB DFS lineup picks for DraftKings games for July 9th, 2015.... Read More

I have a lack of entertainment in my intro today. Maybe I'll make up for it tomorrow, we'll see. For all of you that are still standing in the FanDuel free entry Survivor tournament (which hopefully is none of you since I'm giving away all of my thoughts), best of luck. Three more rounds until... Read More

Daily fantasy sports can be extremely frustrating sometimes. As of Wednesday afternoon, I’ve missed cashing in tournaments by less than two points in each of the last two nights. Alcides Escobar was a dud with -1 points on Tuesday, and Corey Kluber and Dallas Keuchel burned me on Wednesday. It’s such a disappointment knowing that... Read More

What's up everybody. We have a full slate of games with one doubleheader (MIN/BOS) on 6/3/2015. All-day tournaments start at 1:35 ET so make sure you check those lineups and try to make as many educated guesses for later games. There are a couple aces on the mound in the $10,000 range, including Corey Kluber... Read More
